About this album

Roadsong is a refined late-1970s jazz guitar album that shows Vic Juris already playing with striking poise and melodic control. Released in 1978, it captures a young guitarist shaping a modern straight-ahead voice through clean tone, relaxed swing and harmonically adventurous writing. The title track and pieces such as “One For Sonny” and “Vic’s Theme” point to both his compositional strength and his reverence for jazz tradition, while the album’s concise, focused approach keeps the performances vivid and direct. It stands as an early statement from a musician who would go on to become a respected figure in contemporary jazz guitar.
